...and if so, how do I get to this mode?

Thanks

 

08 G35x (NON-sport) DOES have DS mode. All you do is pull the shifter over to the left and you'll see the display change to 'DS'. Don't up/down shift at all and just drive the car. It does the gear changes for you like in automatic mode, just at much higher revs.

I didn't even know about this feature until I read about it on these boards. It's fun to drive this way also. My only issue is that I tend to drive with my hand on the shifter and in DS mode, if I hit a corner too tightly, I will often shift gears inadvertantly.

Not the biggest deal in the world, just something to be aware of.

Have fun!

sweet! thanks

 

Do you know if I can start out in 2nd gear by upshifting before taking off from a stop? my TL lets me do this and it's great in the snow.

 

Your snow button is 2nd gear start. Plus it's great in the snow!

 

I don't even know where to start...I know, read the manual

 

LOL... hope you got that out of your system, it took more energy for you to type what you did than to type "Yes" or "no"... your input is greatly appreciated.

 

Haha, I had a long post typed and had to delete it, what made it was the "nice" stuff.

 

really?

 

So I hear anyway. Here in Nashville we haven't had any snow yet this year so I haven't had a chance to use it.

 

It locks the center diff 50/50 split and regardless of how fast you jab the throttle, it eases the throttle bodies open to control wheel spin.

 

Snow mode does not start the car in second gear. Proof of this is that you can be in M mode and pop on Snow mode. The car stays in 1.. it doesn't start in 2nd gear, although that's just what it feels like.
Snow mode starts the car off in AWD with power going 50/50 front and rear. It also cuts throttle responce, or what I call "numbs it up".
It allows you to start off without the snap forward and with little chance of loosing traction.

 

Sorry Bro. But what a noob question? I look into your thread and laziii to answer already!!!

 

I will admit that this is a question that is easily answered by taking a quick peek at the owners manual, but we should allow Peter to hit at least 30 posts before we start flaming him for silly questions... no?


No worries dude, your questions are always welcome here. It's how we all learn.

 

OK OK!! I'll go easy mann!!!!
